PyAPI - *.insertkey()

Updated insertkey calls in PyAPI so that they behave like the new common_insertkey() behaviour.

Python api access to obcolor
Option to copy obcolor in the copy menu
Option to select same color in select grouped menu
console.py - mistake in last commit caused a python error

Patch #17654: Fix for Scene.Get with input >20 chars
Patch by Darryl Pogue (paradox).

Blender cuts off datablock names at 20 chars, which causes issues if you're trying to access Scenes with a string longer
than 20 chars.

Ex.

s = 'GuildPub-Writers_GLOBAL'
Blender.Scene.New(s) #This creates the scene "GuildPub-Writers_GLOB"
Blender.Scene.Get(s) #This throws an error: the name and the string don't match

This patch cuts down the input of Scene.Get() to the 20 char limits, thus making the the above example return the correct
scene.

Bugfix #17652: "K" mode for controlling keys and drivers cause crashes

When using a transform and there didn't exist an IPO-channel for that transform's focus (i.e. no rot curves when rotating) and "K" mode was active, there would be a crash due to missing checks for such situations.

Fix for gcc compiler warning about a call to do_lamp_tex() resulting in "overflow in implicit constant conversion"

Text.c
- calling Text_reset within C/Api funcs didnt decref the Py_None Text_reset returned.
- Text_delete wasnt checking if the input was an int.
- a number of functions wernt checking if the text was removed.
console.py
- added clear output
- command history leaves empty command before wrapping
- add imports as dummy user input so commands written to a text file will run.
- faster writing of output to a textblock.

== Outliner ==

Commit patch #8195

New outliner mode: Sequence, it's show all the sequence and strip that
we have in the outliner, split it for type (particle, sound and so on..).

Some notes to take care:
* The strip can be selected with LMB
* The sequence can be deleted with XKEY (all the selected)
* The "Meta" are stored in a single tree (Meta Strip)
with all the sequence.
* Duplicate sequence (with the same name) are store in a single tree
and you can select all the Sequence with LMB in the "root" entry.
* Also show the directory path.

[ As Ton point in the tracker, still need more work (and options, Luca made
a really good list in the tracker), so move to the trunk and start
working here, probably a good topic for next meeting. ]

Small dependency debugging aid: now it also prints cycles for
the object depsgrah instead of only armatures.

== Render ==

Commit patch #7788, allow to set the render step, so it's
possible make render every N frames only.

The step is change in Scene buttons (F10), below start and
end frame buttons.

Also add a command line options (-j), so it's possible to
overwrite the file step (useful for renderfarm).

[ Brecht, this work with OpenGL renders and simulated
the skipped frames, please double check ]

Fix for bug #16662: modifiers on lattices were ignored sometimes
when rendering opengl previews, it unnecessarily cleared lattice
displists when it was really intended for shaded mode colors.

Linux platforms
---------------
Patch to include freedesktop icons in linux release builds, contributed by
Ralf Hölzemer (cheleb).

BGE patch: new 'Advanced Settings' button to keep special Bullet options away from main UI.

Three features that were on the main UI interface are now
moved to the Advanced Settings panel:
Margin, Actor (that becomes Sensor Actor) and No sleeping.

Sensor Actor is now a feature: it can be turned on and off
for all types of objects, and not just static objects.
Select the Sensor Actor button to make the object visible
to Near and Radar sensor.
The button is selected by default for dynamic objects
and unselected by default for static objects, to match
previous behavior.

Patch #17348 by Roger Wickes

Fix in Bake Constraints script, better naming for new object.

== Python Space Handlers ==

Patch #9673: "Short patch to make spacehandler event scripts work more like normal python gui script handlers" by Steven Truppe:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=127&aid=9673&group_id=9

This patch adds the Blender.eventValue variable available for space handlers, holding the event value (aka 1 for button and key presses, X or Y coordinate for mousex / mousey movement). Thanks, Steven. PS: this doesn't break existing scripts.

Fix again for the NVidia driver bug. This time I'm just giving up
using linking together the precompiled library shader code and
material code and recompiling it all again for each material even
if it gives a performance hit, since the previous workaround only
worked on some driver versions still.

Patch #13422, By Roland Hess, Shadow Color

Finally, after a long time new render candy for the non-game peoples! :)

Good doc is here: (url splits in two)
http://www.harkyman.com/2008/08/06/controllable-shadow-intensity-
and-color/

Note the colorpicker for shadow is in "Shadow and Spot" panel. A bit
hidden, could get more attention. For later. :)

Patch #8213 by Shunichi Fuji

Fixes crash with FT fonts in some cases, just removed unnused line of code.

Merge from trunk
(The last time there was some files missing due to failed connection to svn server while merging.. thats why this stuff of reverting last merge and redoing it)

svn merge -r 16231:16608 https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender

PyConstraints:

Basic (non-python) target evaluation still occurs when scriptlinks are disabled.

Bugfix #17643: Action Editor buffer copy/paste not working

Removed superfluous check for destination IPO-block/IPO-curve which may not have existed. This meant that pasting keyframes into an "empty" Action Channel sometimes failed.
